It led officers to Grimmett’s brother’s home at 1835 Sue Ave. on Warsaw’s west side, where Hill said he’d been earlier in the afternoon with Stamper. There, in the back yard of the home, sheriff’s deputies found a shallow grave where Stamper’s body was uncovered, Hill said.

The Kosciusko County Coroner was called to the scene. The cause of Stamper’s death is still under investigation pending an autopsy, Hill said. Scene technicians with the Kosciusko County Major Crimes Task Force were also called out.

Hill told NewsChannel 15 that Grimmett, in an interview with investigators, admitting the killing the girl and led them to her body. Inside the home, investigators found evidence that corroborated that, Hill said. He did not indicate what that evidence was.

Grimmett is being held on a prosecutorial hold for murder in the Kosciusko County Jail.

Grimmett has prior convictions for resisting arrest, drugs and battery by bodily waste, court records show. He’s also engaged in a custody battle for his own children, according to court records.
